Gender-Affirming Surgeries

Dr. Hu focuses on gender-affirming and reconstructive surgery, with treatment planning that balances aesthetics, function, and safety.

Three major surgery groups

1. Facial Feminization / Masculinization

Precise adjustment of bone and soft tissue to bring facial proportion closer to each person's gender expression and contour goals.

Facial contour is one of the strongest factors shaping gendered appearance. Feminine faces more often show a smoother forehead, softer jawline, and more delicate chin proportion, while masculine faces more often show stronger brow projection and mandibular structure.

Facial feminization is rarely a single operation. It is usually a coordinated set of changes across several regions to create a natural and balanced result.

2. Body Contouring Surgery

Focused on shoulders, chest, waist, and hip proportion to build a silhouette closer to the patient's gender identity.

Body contour strongly influences gender impression, especially shoulder width, chest shape, and waist-to-hip ratio.

The goal is proportion and harmony rather than aggressive change in a single area, so the result feels natural in daily life.

3. Genital Reconstructive Surgery

Treatment planning for MTF and FTM surgery is built around appearance, sensation, function, and long-term care needs.

Gender-affirming genital reconstruction is designed to align the body with gender identity while also considering appearance, function, and long-term quality of life.

Dr. Hu's approach combines reconstructive surgery, microsurgery, and aesthetic planning for both transfeminine and transmasculine patients.
